Ann Michelle Reich

43, of Tarpon Springs, took her life on Friday, September 15, 2017. Michelle was born March 3, 1974, grew up in Dunedin, Florida, and was a very loving daughter and sister. She played piano, was in the school chorus, and was also a Cheerleader. Michelle touched everyone she met in different ways. Her beautiful eyes and smile, her charm, sense of humor, laughter, and compassion can never be forgotten. Michelle struggled with a severe Bi-Polar Disorder, which manifested in her teenage years. Through all the pain and anguish of the dreadful disease, and stigma attached, she graduated college with a business degree, and went on to use her artistic talent as a very fine hairstylist. Michelle could always find a way to turn a simple item into something magnificent. Her talents were limitless. She always left any properties she touched, better than when she found them. The apartments, houses and even the Tarpon Springs downtown Barber Shop, was improved because she provided the labor and artistic talent needed. Michelle was our bright and shining star in the sky, that finally lost the strength to go on twinkling brightly. She was devoted to her precious little dog of 16 years, Ashleigh, that most recently passed away. Michelle is survived by her mother, Linda Floyd Reich Tagliarini, her brother, Ronald A. Reich, Jr., cousins, Julia Boisvert, Maria Somers Chapman, Natalie Fluharty, Christopher Reich, Uncles and Aunts, Donnie and Mimi Reich, Glen and Joan Floyd, Yvonne Somers, Dan Somers, Geraldine Wells and children, Leon Floys, Kermit and Marsha Floyd, and many very special friends. A Memorial service will be held Saturday, September 30, 2017, at 10:00 am., in the chapel at Heritage United Methodist Church, 2680 Landmark Dr. Clearwater, FL, 33761, ph.: 727-796-1329; A fundraising account for Ann Michelle Reich's funeral expenses has been placed with GoFundMe on Facebook.
